By watching the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING and WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED messages.

There are, of course, lots of valid reasons. Ever seen an app/window that "snaps" to the edge of the screen, or to another window, while it's being dragged? (I agree, preserving the form position for next run is both a VERY GOOD thing to do, and totally unnecessary to persist with every mouse twitch.) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

Another thing that *really* irritates me is folks who don't check to see if the form is off the visible screen(s) when they restore a saved position!
